I bought a vertical scale from ARC Euro Trade and utillising the existing holes in the machine, made up some brackets and other little gizmos to mount the scale as shown. I had to remove a short length of the scale for it to fit, but that was easily acheived using a Dremel with a cut-off disc. There's not much room between the scale and either the downfeed wheel or the quill lock, but just enough to ensure both stay functioning.
